Which scenario describes the operation of a tariff? Angola opens up trade with the world corn market and decides to maintain its previous market price. Consumers in Turkey, who pay $4 per cup of tea, demand that the government open up trade with the world market because they know the world price is $2 per cup. Ireland taxes the import of potatoes in order to keep domestic farmers in business. Norway becomes an exporter of fireworks after it opens up trade with the world market and realizes its market price is lower than the world price.

Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where SK is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 200,000 tons. The world price of apples is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of apples with a quota of 200,000 apples.
